Муж прогнал меня, обвинив в измене, которой не было. Отказался от сына, не признав его своим, и оставил нас без средств к существованию. Единственным спасением оказалась работа в известной сети автосалонов.
Если бы не одно «но». Мой босс… Дикий, одинокий, замкнутый после гибели жены, он даже на расстоянии держит в страхе весь коллектив. Но на меня с первого дня смотрит так, будто знает всю жизнь. А мой сын почему-то тянется к нему, как к родному отцу...
Когда-то я безумно его любила. Он был основной целью и смыслом моей жизни. А потом он уехал, но перед этим взял с меня слово, что никто и никогда не узнает о нашем маленьком секрете.
— Один раз, Настя! Это будет один раз… Поняла?!
— Да.
— Я уеду. Ты не звонишь и не пишешь, иначе отправишься в бан… — шипит тихо в губы.
— Х-хорошо…
— Никому ни слова.
— Я обещаю.
— И помни — это никогда не повторится.
Я сдержала свое слово, а "последствия" той ночи оставила себе.
Марат всегда знал, что рано или поздно ему придётся жениться на правильной девочке из «своих». Договорные браки — типичная история в восточных семьях. Он не догадывался лишь о том, что во имя долга ему придется отказаться от той, кого он полюбит.
— Раздевайтесь, профессор! — на выдохе выпалила я, врываясь в аудиторию.
Не обращая внимания на обалдевшее лицо «уголовника», быстрым шагом приблизилась к нему, опустила на пол пакет и потянулась к его пиджаку.
— Ну, быстрее, у нас пара через десять минут начинается!
Взялась за лацканы пиджака, пытаясь стянуть его с плеч Руслана Евгеньевича, когда за спиной раздался громогласный голос ректора:
— Руслан! После пар ко мне в кабинет!
— Мама! — пискнула я, убирая руки с плеч преподавателя.
Ректор ушел, а «уголовник» выдохнул и перевел горящий взгляд на меня:
— Раздевайтесь, Синицина, — процедил Руслан Евгеньевич.
— З-зачем?..
Он положил горячую ладонь мне на талию и дернул на себя:
— Теперь, когда ректор думает, что я сплю со студенткой, вы просто обязаны компенсировать мне моральный вред, причиненный вами!
Мамочка…
Логинов Руслан Евгеньевич — наш новый преподаватель уголовного права. Строгий до зубовного скрежета. Серьезный настолько, что сам себе в зеркало не улыбается. Мы возненавидели друг друга с первой встречи. А потом оказалось, что от ненависти до любви один… зачет!
ПРОДЫ ЧЕРЕЗ ДЕНЬ!
ВНИМАНИЕ! ЕСТЬ НЕСКОЛЬКО ПОВТОРОВ ЭПИЗОДОВ ИЗ ПЕРВЫХ ДВУХ КНИГ ЦИКЛА!
Мы с ним из разных миров. Видим друг друга первый и последний раз в жизни. Я для него просто девушка на ночь. Он для меня — единственное спасение от мерзких планов моего отца на моё будущее. Так я думала, когда покидала ночной клуб с незнакомцем. Однако я и представить не могла, что после всего одной ночи он украдёт моё сердце и заберёт меня себе.
— Папочка, — шепчет Милли, взбираясь ко мне на колени. — Смотри, наша мама танцует с другим дядей. Пойди ударь его.
— Милли, я не дерусь с мужчинами, которые танцуют с женщинами. К тому же, она не «наша» мама.
— Так пусть ею будет! Я сегодня напишу новое письмо Санте. Пускай забирает кукольный домик и сделает Эйку моей новой мамой.
Закатываю глаза и пытаюсь не рычать от злости. Как вот ее разубедить? Как, нахрен, себя убедить теперь, что я ее не хочу?
Утром Эрика Коулман бесила меня. Вечером привлекла. А теперь я хочу ее до зубовного скрежета. Это какая-то ненормальная реакция организма. Но она сама виновата во всем этом. Потому что бросала на меня эти многозначительные взгляды. Улыбалась другим мужчинам, танцевала, демонстрируя чулки. Чертова Эрика!
